The original meaning of Cambridge is "a bridge over the sword river". Jianhe is a local river around the city. The winding river is surrounded by willows and green grass on both sides. There are many beautifully designed and beautifully shaped bridges erected on the river, the most famous of which are Math Bridge, Gray Bridge and Sigh Bridge. Strolling along the sword river, there are century-old universities and classic buildings. Tall and exquisite school buildings, solemn churches and red brick houses covered with green vines stand among the green trees and red flowers in the city, green and full of ancient meaning. Cambridge is famous for its outstanding achievements in natural science. It is one of the best university cities in the world, just like its neighbor Oxford. However, unlike Oxford, which is called "the city in the university", Cambridge is a city with universities in the city. Although it is full of strong academic atmosphere, it is still a bustling city with a lively modern life.

Late spring is the most beautiful season in Cambridge. On the roadside are rows of green and cloudy trees, and there is a tree with white and lavender cherry blossoms. In the sunshine, it looks full of vitality. On the grass in front of colleges and houses, there are purple and pink roses, yellow daffodils, flowerpots with blooming flowers hanging on lampposts and balconies of houses. It is gorgeous and pleasing to the eye.

However, the most unforgettable thing is the green of the city. The lush grass covers almost all the vacant land in this town except the street. Tall school buildings, church spires and a red brick house covered with green vines are all in this green. On the edge of Jianhe River, weeping willows are shaded and dense forests are green, setting off the clear water of Jianhe River. The whole of Cambridge is like a green ocean, lush and fascinating.

River Cam

The beautiful Jianhe River is the symbol of Cambridge. For a long time in the past, Jianhe was called Granta River and Jianhe River by local people, but actually it refers to the same river. The former refers to the section from Cambridge to Grantchester Manor, which is the upper reaches of the river. This section of the river twists and turns, and the scenery on the shore is natural and simple. The latter is the lower reaches of the river, with a wide river surface and gentle water flow. The shore is full of gorgeous buildings on the campus of Cambridge University, which is the back of the college. So when chartering a boat and drifting in the local area, the owner will ask, "Granta or Colleges?" . When you come to Cambridge, you must see the telephone poles, drift on the Jianhe River and enjoy the scenery on both sides. See jianhe pole for details.
